Great, so let's build the groundwork for a revolution before engaging in fantasies about playing the revolutionary hero and waving around guns. This isn't necessarily aimed at you, but there's a ton of that sentiment around here.

It's better to have guns and know how to use them before it's time for the revolution.

If your comrades are trying to start a revolution before it's time, then you're engaging with the wrong people.
